Is transpulmonary atrial pacing a feasible strategy for transvenous atrial pacemaker implantation in patients with prior extracardiac conduit Fontan surgery?
Transpulmonary access to the left-sided atrium offers a feasible and technically straightforward approach for transvenous atrial pacing in patients with prior extracardiac conduit Fontan surgery, avoiding surgical pacemaker placement.
Moore et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Prior extracardiac conduit Fontan surgery, incessant supraventricular tachycardia, and sinus node dysfunction (n=1). Transpulmonary atrial pacing was evaluated on Feasibility and pacing characteristics. Transpulmonary access to the left-sided atrium for transvenous atrial pacing was feasible and provided excellent pacing characteristics in a patient with prior extracardiac Fontan surgery.
